WHEREAS, the Employee and the Company entered into an Employment
Agreement dated December 15, 2000 which was amended by an Amended Agreement
dated as of the 12th day of February 2001, and which agreement was subsequently
amended by a First Amendment dated as of July 3, 2001 (as amended, the
"Employment Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to further amend the Employment Agreement
to induce the Employee to remain employed by the Company for a minimum specified
period of time and to make certain other changes.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The first sentence of the "Duties" section of the Employment
Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"Duties. The Employee agrees that, during the Employment
Period while she is employed by the Company, she will devote
substantially her full business time, energies and talents to
serving as the General Counsel of the Company and providing
services for the Company at the direction of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO") or the Executive
Board, provided that the Employee may engage in other
activities, including, without limitation, other for profit
businesses, so long as such activities do not materially
interfere with the Employee's responsibilities to the
Company."
2. Section 2(b) of the Employment Agreement is amended by the addition
of the following new subsection at the end thereof:
"(iii) payable simultaneously with the execution of the second
amendment to this Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to
a lump sum cash payment equal to $500,000 in consideration of
the Employee's additional obligations under the second
amendment."

3. Section 2(c) of the Employment Agreement is amended by the addition
of the following language at the end thereof:
"Simultaneously with the execution of the second amendment to
this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the applicable
automobile leasing company an amount equal to the `buy out'
amount of the Employee's leased automobile and the title of
such automobile shall be registered in the name of the
Employee. The Company shall pay the operating costs of such
automobile (including, without limitation, insurance, gas,
maintenance and repairs) while the Employee is employed by the
Company and the Company shall also provide Employee with tax
gross-up payments so that after applicable taxes are incurred
with regard to the automobile and operating costs the Employee
will be kept whole.

deletion of the following language:
"but in any event no less than one year's annual salary"

the following new subsection at the end thereof:
"(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything herein to the
contrary, the Employee shall remain employed by the Company
through February 1, 2002, provided that the Employee may
terminate employment prior to such date for Good Reason.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that it shall be a breach of
this Agreement if the Employee terminates employment without
Good Reason prior to February 1, 2002."
6. As amended, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.
7. This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
